Beware Fog AsapSelasa, August 25, 2009 | 00:25 WITADibaca 23 times Story Tools
Almost every year since 1997, the sky smog in the province in
Kalimantan and Sumatra. Smog also decorate the media coverage in local and national.
Since 1997 the same way, a thick haze and always repeated over and over again each year until 2009 is over two islands, especially in this area.
The results of measurement air pollutant standards index (IS PU) conducted Environmental Health Technology Center (BTKL) and the South Kalimantan Provincial Health Office said that air quality in the city Martapura unhealthy. If the air quality unfit, then the population has the disease coughs, asthma and other respiratory problems will vulnerable to respiratory illness more severe, such as respiratory infection (infection of the respiratory tract).
In the dry season, in South Kalimantan haze tends to come sahingga can cause a person exposed to respiratory infection. In addition to preventing respiratory disease, the use of a mask can serve as a deterrent spread of various diseases including the flu swine flu or bird flu.
Ispa disease tends to occur when the fog of smoke appeared, especially in the dry season, and the number of patients will increase as the severity of the condition of smoke. (Banjarmasin Post).
The condition is now gradually recovering. If the smoke back up, then people are suggested to use a mask as one of the ISPA prevention. At the time of the detection in the region Martapura Hospital and Health Center Martapura City, Public Health Service and BTKL found that the air condition was not healthy or worry.
South Kalimantan Health Office is now providing 80 thousand masks which will be distributed to the public if there is a need. Health office also warned if there is a haze of smoke, residents are asked to use a mask or breathing device covering the nose and mouth to avoid respiratory diseases. The use of masks is one of anticipation tertularnya respiratory disease, which often comes with the thick haze of smoke.
Is every year we just set up a mask? Does wearing smog masks then no more? How best solution cope? Smog is one form of pollution, namely air pollution. Air pollution is the entry or the inclusion of particles or other material that is not a constituent factor of air, thus reducing air quality to the disruption of ecosystems and human biological plants.
Viewed from node pollution, the smog has been on the second and third nodes.
In the second node, the media smog polluting the air and the environment. In the third node, smog disrupt biological ecosystem that is damaging the respiratory system. In the second and third nodes, smog can be measured with instruments in the environment and the level of human breathing as a result of pollution.
If there is air pollution in the menghawatirkan stage, people become victims of the activities themselves. Anticipation that can be taken, to prevent the mask not used much anymore in that we pull the knot back to the search for and find the first node of the smoke.
The first node of smog, in fact, is the activity of the deliberate burning of land and natural factors. Burning of land individually, it is not so, and no significant adverse impact. However, if a land-burning activities carried out jointly at the same time doubled the activity, will also cause smog. I think needs to be regulations on farmers burn ban is not for the preparation of agricultural land.
Prevention of the first node of air pollution do not burn the land in whatever form, so that the second and third node no pollution. Modifications to the first level of prevention, a very important role in preventing air pollution from smog. Environmental health efforts is the key to prevention is correct, against all types of diseases caused by lack of attention on environmental health issues.
